Which subject if taken at an undergraduate level could you never pass?

[Duckypoohs]

For me I would say linguistics, any explanation loses me almost immediately. Maybe Law, I'd have to be extremely bored to even begin to think about trying to care.

Computing intruiges me, I know absolutely nothing about it, it would take a long time for me to learn but hopefully I could pass.

Foreign languages, Physics, Chemistry, English Lit.

Think I could manage most others.

If I had to do the exam tomorrow, everything, including the subjects I already have degrees in (history, computer science.) But assuming I got yo do the course first- I would have to do a lot of catch up in maths to do most STEM subjects, having not done it since GCSE, but otherwise, I could probably give it a stab. I was an all-rounder at school and annoyed I could only take 3 subjects atA-level.

Although going by my Welsh class this evening, I'd probably struggle there...

History. I struggle to even remember the birth dates of my immediate family, so would have no chance. I have equal difficulty remembering phone numbers and names too. Amazing at remembering random facts and snippets of information though!

Maths. Like a PP, I did further maths at A level and am honest enough with myself to realise that was my limit.

Maths - I have a 1st in English ( for context not for boasting ) but Maths I lost interest when we had to do the area under a curve. Dh can do Maths the live day long. DD took up a 4th subject at A level ( Maths ) and dropped it with the recommendation of her teachers - just not her thing. She had friend who she said "just got it " - she did not.

Other things she is good at. @groundcontroltomontydon - interestingly she was good at history - loved it. But Not all do .

Oh to all previous posters - thank goodness we are not all the same

Mine is maths too, or any subject requiring an in depth knowledge of mathematical principles.

I got a B at GCSE level many moons ago, but anything including fractions, shape, space, area.. flummoxes me.

Languages. Tedious and I’m rubbish at the ones I’ve tried. English literature. All that analysis ruins a perfectly good book.

Any kind of abstract maths/physics is too much for me. I have an MSc and can do statistics but quantum stuff is just inaccessible, brain does not compute.

I think I’d be good at practical art based subjects (music, sculpture, architecture etc) but rubbish at more waffly things like write an essay about the meaning of this painting.

I had a friend at university who was seriously good at maths - just very good - ended up with a doctorate and uses it in his job. One evening when we were undergraduates he knocked on my door and said come and look at this - it was numbers and squiggles. . OK said I - he said that is beautiful as an equation - can't you see that. I said I literally have no idea what it means. To get him back I made him read a poem and tell me what it meant - analysis etc & he said I quite like it but it's just words.

Horses for courses.

Chemistry and English Lit.

I scraped a pass in Chemistry at O Level but dropped English Lit towards the end, and it has too many bad memories for me.

I'm dyslexic and couldn't cope with French at school but as an adult I learned BSL quite easily, the grammar of BSL makes sense to me and there is no writing.

Music.

I'm assuming we get a chance to do the groundwork first for anything like Portuguese or biology, so I won't write those off quite yet, but I doubt I could ever do a music degree.

@MistandMud - I get that - I appreciate music of all sorts but never in a month of Sundays could I do it myself - either composing or singing or writing

English, it isn’t my first language, my written English is awful so I’d never be able ro get halfway decent marks.

I had to do a unit of Economics when I was doing my Accountancy qualification. It nearly finished me off, all though identical looking supply and demand graphs that were meant to prove wildly opposite theories. It made no sense to me at all but I squeaked a pass by just learning them by rote and hoping for the best. God I hated it. I am more of an Eng Lit person any day.

Oh music, it didn't even enter my head that people study music because I'm totally unmusical.

Maths, physics, chemistry, IT, Latin.

Astrophysics. I get so with the scales involved, I can't even follow a Brian Cox documentary.

Oh my God, all of them. Even the field i work in now, that I only got the degree in 10 years ago, I would fail hugely because I can't remember much of the theory. Also because I'm 52 and can feel my brain becoming less sharp with every passing year.

The worst fails would be in maths or physics. 1% would be aspirational.

Most things, which is why I didn't go to university!

Anything maths/sciences were ruled out at Alevel.

Anything creative like art, design, drama, dance.

Media Studies, some might think it is the easiest subject to study, I would get exactly no-where, even though I love a lot of the things that come under that umbrella term.

Most things probably!! I'm good at subjects I can work out / calculate but didn't even do biology to GCSE so that's out, chemistry is beyond me, I don't have a brain that absorbs facts so history and law are out, likewise foreign languages......definitely not art and my musical talents aren't good enough for degree level.
I might be ok at theology or psychology type subjects or economics / business studies but I've never tried them.

Music

Maths physics chemistry and languages.
These days gender studies because I think I’d last two seconds before getting kicked out for laughing.

Nursing, Dance, Maths, Engineering.

Linguistics, Law, Languages, Literature on the other hand - right up my strasse.

Physics. I watch University Challenge every week and just boggle at the questions, never mind the answers.
